Kerala Kalamandalam, Cheruthuruthy, Thrissur

The celebrated Malayalam poet Vallathol Narayana Menon established The Kerala Kalamandalam. It was the time when Kathakali was steadily losing its popularity. The great poet was quick to realize the need of keeping the dance form of Kathakali alive. So, the poet took the onus on himself to revive and popularize this form of art. In his efforts, poet Vallathol got the help of some royal Kathakali enthusiasts like Kunjikuttan Thampuran and M. Mukundaraja. These people took great pains to arrange for performances by renowned artists throughout the State and even successfully raised finances through lotteries. Since then, Kerala Kalamandalam at Cheruthuruthy in Thrissur District has been imparting training in its own signature style for Kathakali, Kootiyattam, Mohiniyattom, Panchavadyam, Thullal and others, by way of the ancient system of gurukula.
